To promote the release of The Amazing Spider-Man in the UK, Infinite Wisdom shot this great video entitled Peter Parkour in London. It features Parkour Generations athlete Axel Dupre racing through the streets showing off parkour skills choreographed to imitate Spidie's web-slinging self.

"I never did a trial run of the makeup, so this was my first go at it. I have to say, I’m pretty happy with the results!! Only a little bit of the prosthetic started to pull up, and that was after I marched in the parade."

"I was looking at images of the new "Before Watchmen" comics and saw the
most amazing illustration by Jim Lee of Laurie Jespeczyk in her new Silk
Spectre outfit. I fell in love with the design and knew I had to make
it. Plus, the new comics are fantastic and really paint the picture of a
young Laurie Jupiter coming into her own as Silk Spectre, coming of age
from a young and almost naive teenager (very reminiscent of Kara Zor-El
as Supergirl) to a strong and capable young superhero.

The
costume is gold milliskin spandex with black wet-look spandex detailing.
The suit is lined in nude spandex lining fabric. The belt and boots are
metallic black spandex, and the buckle is craft foam. I made the
earrings from lacquered cardboard, and the wig is from my Nadie costume
(I just pulled it into a ponytail).

The best moment of my Comic
Con was meeting Amanda Conner in costume and having her and her colorist
sign a large Laurie Print AND giving me the first three Silk Spectre
comics, signed of course. It was amazing to meet them and they were just
so excited to see my costume - it was phenomenal and I loved it. I
can't wait to wear Laurie more!"

Voice actor and puppeteer Dan Milano (known for Greg the Bunny and Robot Chicken) dressed up his daughter as the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, adorably recreating the famous scene from Ghostbusters, with his Mattel and Kenner toys.

"Hello everyone, I am known to all my friends as Crazy Ray. I would like
to start by telling you how I was motivated to make a 5 person
assembling costume named VOLTRON FORCE. I was at a Halloween party when I
saw some of the most inspiring costumes. I decided to make a costume
that was dear to my heart and what better costume to choose then the
DEFENDERS OF THE UNIVERSE! Woop woop!!!!"

"Just as I hoped it to be. The Avatar cosplay shoot finally happened. It
was also one of the craziest idea we ever had where we had less than two
days to prepare for everything. Thank God everything went quite well. I should consider having more crazy ideas."

"She's beautiful, dangerous, incredibly loyal and perhaps even a little
too easy (for the Joker at least) Harley Quinn is the kinda girl you see
at a party drinking from a keg and drop-kicking guys that get a bit too
handsy. No one messes with her, yet she messes with everyone. Few women
represent anarchy and loyalty quite as well as the wannabe Mrs. Joker.
Is our stunning Harley, Rebecca Greening, as beautiful as the comic book
villan? No doubt. Is she as dangerous? You could find out, but it might
cost ya."

"I'm not a very good seamstress, this costume is instead modified from
purchases which I've worked very hard on and am still in the process of
doing. I don't claim to know anything about sewing, in fact most
everything I've done so far has just been me winging it and hoping that
the cosplay will turn out alright, so please be patient."
